The Nail Challenge Collaborative Presents: Technique Month - Roses

Today I am crossing another technique off my try list...Roses! I have always put off this technique because I didn't think I could do it! It is that freehand art that I have trouble with. The base of my design came from The Nailasaurus's Tutorial. Let me show you what I did!

I started with two coats of Zoya Flynn.

I added the base of my roses using a large dotting tool and Zoya Livingston.

I added my highlights using a small nail art brush and Zoya Pepper.

I used the same nail art brush and Zoya Hunter to add my leaves.

I finished my design by creating a gradient using Livingston and Pepper.

I am so happy with my roses! They are so subtle and pretty and the gradient is perfect! YAY for Roses!!!
